Celebrate new innovative learning technologies this Learning at Work Week

London, UK18 May 2017Learning NewsFiltered

Filtered is supporting workers in their personal development endeavours by opening up their learning recommendation engine - as well as their exclusive live classes - to the public for the next two weeks.

This week is Learning at Work Week, an annual awareness initiative organised by the Campaign for Learning which aims to draw attention to the importance and benefits of learning and development at work. For 2017, the theme is curiosity and creativity, making it the perfect opportunity to highlight how new innovative technology is being used to enhance the learner experience within the workplace.

Over the last 10 or even 5 years we have witnessed the mainstream emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Household names such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Email, Amazon, Google Maps, Google Translate, Satnav, Alexa, Siri, Cortana and Netflix all use sophisticated AI to personalise in terms of filtering, relevance, convenience, time and place-sensitivity. What is less clear however is whether or not this explosion of intelligent technology has been developed to improve learning practices and more importantly the way in which we train.

Company profile

Filtered is an award-winning online training platform which personalizes learning material for each user. By asking users questions about their role, aspiration and proficiency, the platform’s machine learning algorithm is able to pinpoint skills gaps and filter out material that the user doesn’t need or already knows. This minimises time spent training, maximises the impact of learning and increases productivity. This approach of pinpointing skills gaps across a portfolio of core skills means that 97% of material covered in a Filtered course is relevant to the learner.
